Turn off start job?

4jakers18 · 2017-05-28 22:04:21

A start job runs whenever I boot up my system, it is for a Ethernet to USB adapter I was using to install my system, as setting up the wifi with wpa_supplicant was not possible at the time, I no longer need to use it and I'm not sure how to disable it.

sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp0s20u2.device is the start job that runs, I have tried disabling or stopping it with systemctl, but it doesn't work.

Please paste the exact error message and the exact commands that you ran to disable it; "doesn't work" is not an error message

$ systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled

Should list units that have been manually enabled. sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp0s20u2.device should normally be a dependency of some service that is waiting for the device to appear.

No need to pipe:

systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled

I did that, I'm getting just

autovt@.service

dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service

dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service

dhcpcd@.service

NetworkManager-dispatcher.service

NetworkManager.service

Nothing else that looks related to networking at all. I'm not sure which one my problem might be caused by.

$ journalctl -b dhcpcd*@*.service

Please use code tags for commands plus their output and include the original command along with its output.
Edit:
Please also note Network_configuration#Network_managers

There are many solutions to choose from, but remember that all of them are mutually exclusive; you should not run two daemons simultaneously.

I got "Failed to add match 'dhcpcd@.service' : Invalid argument

Please post the exact command you entered and the output generated in code tags.
Please try

$ systemctl status dhcpcd*@*.service

instead of

$ journalctl -b -u dhcpcd*@*.service

Although both commands should be valid the former will provide more useful information.

I used

 journalctl -b dhpcd@.service

as you suggested, I got

 Failed to add match 'dhcpcd@.service': Invalid argument

You missed the globs...

and the -u parameter so journalctl rightly complained dhpcd@.service is not valid argument to -b

Done, it gave an output, It's rather too large to type in, Ill give the beginning and end.

First Line

 May 26 16:41:03 archlaptop systemd[1]: Starting dhcpcd on enp0s20u2...

Last line

 May 28 18:32:28 archlaptop systemd[1]: dhcpcd@enp0s20u2.service: Job dhcpcd@enp0s20u2.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

unless this output is saved somewhere and I can post the entire thing somehow...
